Headset Pairing (Main & Remote)
The system includes one Main headset (ULSM) and one Remote headset (ULSR). The Main headset acts as the central unit, relaying signals to the Remote units. No manual pairing is typically required for the initial 2-person system as they are pre-configured. For expanding the system with additional Remote headsets (up to 5 users total), refer to the "Expanding the System" section.
Operating Instructions
Power On/Off
To power on the headsets, locate the power button on the side of each earcup. Press and hold the power button until the indicator light illuminates. To power off, press and hold the power button again until the light turns off.
Volume Control
Volume up and down buttons are located on the earcup of each headset. Press the '+' button to increase volume and the '-' button to decrease volume to your desired listening level.
Microphone Mute (AutoMute Boom)
The microphone boom on the Ultralite-HD headsets features an AutoMute function. To mute your microphone, simply pivot the microphone boom upwards until it is in a vertical position. To unmute and resume communication, pivot the microphone boom back down to a speaking position. The microphone can swivel 270 degrees, allowing the headset to be worn on either the left or right ear.

Range and Performance
The Ultralite-HD system offers a wireless range of up to 1,000 feet Line of Sight (LOS). Performance may vary depending on environmental factors and obstacles. The system provides clear, interference-free sound, even in high-noise environments, thanks to its noise-cancelling microphone.
Expanding the System
The Ultralite-HD system is expandable, allowing for up to 5 users to communicate simultaneously. Additional Remote headsets can be purchased separately and are field programmable to integrate with your existing Main headset.
